Well I am pleased to annouce that I am one of the winners of the Sound Design prize at the World Stage Design Exhibition which is part of OISTAT (International Organisation of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians) in Korea. The Odyssey is part of the Digital Exhibition and can be found at:
Thanks to Steve Brown, Head of Sound at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester and Head of Sound for OISTAT for selecting my piece along with the other fantastic pieces to receive this award.
Memories Unearthed will be installed at Clifton Country Park in Salford this weekend – Sunday 27th Sept 09.
Come down and have a look at how the park has been tranformed. Free entry – all welcome.
I have just finished a program I was asked to produce for Framework: afield on Resonance FM. The program features interviews with Steve Brown, Head of Sound at the Royal Exchange in Manchester and Ewan Stefani, a lecturer at Leeds University and an electroacoutic and acousmatic composer. The program investigates the use of field recordings for sound design and composition. Cities of Sound and Memories Unearthed are also part of the program.
Tune in on 8th November to listen @ http://podcasts.resonancefm.com/
Memories Unearthed is the official title for the Wet Earth Colliery project which will be featured at Clifton Country Park – Dirt and Dreams event on Sunday 27th September.
Only a few weeks to go and the piece is almost complete. I look forward to seeing as many people there as possible. A stereo sample of the sound will features in the portfolio of work section shortly.
Thanks to the families and children that came up to Clifton Country Park today to participate in the workshops and soundwalk. We all had a great time and managed to get some fantastic recordings and didn’t get toooo wet in our efforts!
The recordings from today and from the workshops that will take place tomorrow – Sunday 16th August – will go towards the installation that will be featured as part of Dirt and Dreams 2 at the Wet Earth Colliery on Sunday 27th September. More news to follow on this one.
